TO ALL PERSONSTO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME: Be it known that I, WILLIAM BRADLEY, of Lynn, in the county of Essex, and 'State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Wash-Bowl or Basin; and do hereby declare the saine to be f'ully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure is a top view, and

Figure 2 a longitudinal section of it.

The said invention isl a combination of a wash-bowl and soap-receptacle or box, connected together at or near the edge of the bowl, or arranged substantially vas exhibited in such drawings, in which A denotes the bowl,

and B the box or receptacle. The latter may be attaohedto one edge or side ofthe former, so as to extend entirely beyond the same, or the two may be'arranged in such mannerthat the box may project partially or a short distance 'into the bowl. Leading from the box tothe interior ofthe bowl thereV may be one or moreopenings or passages a, such being arranged so as to cause the waste water from theosoap, after use of th'e latter, to run into the bowl. The box I provide with a cover, b, hinged or otherwise suitably applied to it. Furthermore, there may be extended across the box, and parallel or about so with its bottom, a partition or guard, d, the same being so as to prevent the drippings of water from the soap aftervuse from escaping from the box, when the basin is turned up so as to bring th Soap-box below it. VThe soap-box answers the purpose of a handle to be grasped bya person when using the basinrr howl as a dipper. 'lhe arrangement of the soap-box so as to extend partly into the bowl, in manner as exhibited in the drawings, is a very convenient one, as it admite of the waste hole or holes ofthe box being made through the bottomof the box.

With my invention a piece of soap can be kept within the box, so as to be convenentbf access when the bowl is to be used for washing.

What I claim as my invention, is

The combination oi' the wash-basin and soap-box or receptacle. attached together as specified.

WM` BRADLEY.
